Join me in Glengarriff's ancient woodland for a nurturing & relaxing forest bathing session to celebrate Samhain. This will be my last one until the Springtime.

Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic new year and our Winter, a time when the veil between the spirit world and the physical world is at it's thinnest, a time of magic.

We will Learn the practice of Shinrin Yoku, slow down to the pace of the forest, awaken our senses, let go of what no longer serves us and connect to the land for guidance as we move into the darker half of the year. A time to truly rest, remember our ancestors, dream and experience the forest as never before.

The walk finishes with a tea ceremony with local foraged plants from the forest and light snacks to integrate and embody our forest experience.

Sunday 27th October 11am

Booking essential,

Join us in the Forest to celebrate the Autumn Equinox. Learn the practice of Forest Bathing while taking some time for yourself to relax and connect.

The Autumn Equinox is the midpoint between the shortest day and the longest day of the year. A time of equal day and night, a time of balance, a time to pause and reflect. A turning point, as the leaves begin to fall and the energy moves down into the earth. Naturally our energy also turns inwardly as we move into the darker half of the year.

We will slow down to the pace of the forest and allow the land to take us on a journey, to realign us with the elements and our true selves. As we tune into the cycles of Nature, it helps us to understand our own cycles and life better.

We will finish with a lovely tea ceremony with foraged plants from the forest to embody our experience.

Booking essential only 12 spaces available.

A lush morning foraging in the magical meadow with my little helper. The basket was emptied more than it was filled 🤣 But we did manage to collect some gorgeous All heal (prunella vulgaris)and Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) for future Forest Bathing teas. Soak up as much sun as you can, by far the medicine for the body, mind & soul. Loving these Summer days 🧡

RESTING IS DOING

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves.
If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything in nature has its time to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just a important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be.
If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the comparison, just for a few hours, to let the mind, spirit and body come together again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.

Just a gorgeous best boy waiting patiently for his stick, enjoying his freedom after yesterday's escapades. Always adventuring and Forest Bathing this fella, living his best life. Constantly reminding us all that the moment is the only true place to be. #glengariffforesttherapy #chocalatelab #westcorkforestbathing #sticksarelife

Foxglove Love Every year these beauties bring me so much joy. Whenever we clear any area around our house in the forest they are always the first plant to grow. Maybe it's to bring in the pollinators, the bees Love them. I like to think it's to spread some love & joy around the land. Although highly poisonous for humans and our pet friends, Do Not Eat, the heart medicine digoxin comes from them, which helps heart failure and irregular heartbeat. Every single plant on earth has a purpose and so do you. Who used to pick them and wear them on their fingers as a kid though ? The original fake nails 🤣 #glengariffforesttherapy #foxgloveflowers #forestlife

Forest Sleep

This is not something we do on a Forest Bathing Walk but it is something I will do at my Forest Retreats in Glengarriff Lodge in the future. Similar to a yoga nidra or bodyscan in mindfulness this is meditation to guide your body into deep relaxation, while listening to the sound of the forest. I just felt people may need it at the moment, so decided to share. Just like forest bathing it is great to reduce stress and anxiety. This forest sleep will also help relieve mental,emotional and muscular tension. There is no wrong way to practise this, just lie down make yourself comfortable and enjoy ! Remember the forest is For-Rest. Much Love from the forest and I website- http://glengarriffforesttherapy.ie/ #glengarriffforesttherapy #glengarrifflodge #westcorkforestbathing #forestsleep #forestnidra #mindfulness #isolationstation #ultimateforestbathe #shinrinyoku #westquartz
